Europe – Perfect for Autumn Travels




2022: Explore the World
Autumn in Europe
The Blue                                                        Danube
Europe in Autumn is, quite simply, a spectacular time to visit. Temperatures soften, crowds lessen and cities – cultural calendars – and nature are energized by this transitional season that brings a revitalization. When summer's crowds begin to slip away, the countryside is rich with green and foliage peaks in shades of orange and red, fields of lavender are prepared for winter's rest, and the harvest season ensues. Riverside walks invigorate and strolls through Europe's "Old Towns" inspire. In cities, the seasonal change brings new culinary and cultural offerings – while in villages and towns, there's a warmth and glow that envelops vestiges of days past.

To make it easier to check out available options for Europe travel this fall, we've put together a collection of journeys with great space left on peak dates during this wonderful time of year – plus a few guest favorites highlighted below:
